Stair Timbers

At Garde Timber, we supply a range of native and imported durable hardwood stair components to suit any budget for the DIY, trade or commercial application for both internal and external weather exposed application.

Many people opt for a stair construction of house treads into stringers. Flights can be built with ‘open treads’, which is without risers, or ‘closed treads’ with riser boards. Open tread stairs are suggested for external use as they offer superior air circulations, allowing exposed timber to dry more quickly, subsequently improving resilience.

Single piece step treads are also available for single spine fabricated metal, stringers or galvanized steel stringers which are pre-fabricated. These are supplied docked to length and finished sanded for installation, polishing, oiling or painting.

As Garde Timber is a timber merchant, we only supply the separate raw material components and do not make up the staircase or house out the Stringers.

External Hardwood Stair Timbers

This is supplied in Class 1 durability Red Ironbark, which is naturally termite resistant.

There is minimal shrinkage and end split, and can be oiled for a natural colour finish with our range of Sikkens or Intergrain external coatings.

We do not supply stringers pre-housed.

These are engineered with strength and extra stability in varied atmospheric conditions.
